MODEL/socialite/handbag designer Lydia Hearst is fuming over “inexcusable” actions by Heathrow Airport security guards, who tossed around her undergarments and had the gall to rough up her Puma bag. Hearst, en route to Germany where she’s shooting a campaign, fired off a message to us via her publicist: “Aside from the fact that it is inappropriate to display the contents of a woman’s purse in public, the bag holding all of my personal belongings for my trip (panties, lip gloss, wallet and cellphone) were dumped out onto the conveyer belt.” Hearst claimed she repeatedly asked the guards to be careful with her bag because, “The Puma Lydia Bag is a sample item I designed belonging to Puma and Heatherette. It is on loan to me under the expressed understanding that it is to be used for promotional photos and interviews only.” Hearst lists “gashes,” a “ripped-off charm,” “squashing on the bottom” and “scraped up and tangled” among the damages to her carry-on.
